Chen Qing arrived outside the courtyard where Qu He lived and gently rapped the door knocker.
Soon, a maidservant dressed in a simple and elegant dress opened the door.
She recognized Chen Qing and quickly stepped aside to bow. "Brother Chen, please come in."
The maidservant led Chen Qing to the living room, served him a cup of fragrant hot tea, and then withdrew to announce his arrival.
Before long, Qu He emerged from an inner room with a gentle smile on his face. "Junior Brother Chen, what brings you here today?"
He was familiar with his junior brother's disposition; the man rarely visited him just to build connections.
Chen Qing stood up, bowed, and didn't beat around the bush, directly explaining that his Contribution Points had been docked.
